ajalugu

UCL was founded on 11 veebruar 1826 under the nameLondon Universityas a secular alternative to the religious universities of Oxford and Cambridge. London University’s first Warden was Leonard Horner, who was the first scientist to head a British university.

Despite the commonly held belief that the philosopher Jeremy Bentham was the founder of UCL, his direct involvement was limited to the purchase of share No.633, at a cost of £100 paid in nine installments between December 1826 and January 1830. sisse 1828 he did nominate a friend to sit on the council, ja 1827 attempted to have his disciple John Bowring appointed as the first professor of English or History, but on both occasions his candidates were unsuccessful. This suggests that while his ideas may have been influential, he himself was less so. However Bentham is today commonly regarded as the “spiritual father” of UCL, as his radical ideas on education and society were the inspiration to the institution’s founders, particularly the Scotsmen James Mill (1773–1836) and Henry Brougham (1778–1868).

sisse 1827, the Chair of Political Economy at London University was created, with John Ramsay McCulloch as the first incumbent, establishing one of the first departments of economics in England. sisse 1828 the university became the first in England to offer English as a subject and the teaching of Classics and medicine began. sisse 1830, London University founded the London University School, which would later become University College School. sisse 1833, the university appointed Alexander Maconochie, Secretary to the Royal Geographical Society, as the first professor of geography in the UK. sisse 1834, University College Hospital (originally North London Hospital) opened as a teaching hospital for the university medical school.

sisse 1836, London University was incorporated by Royal Charter under the nameUniversity College, London. Samal päeval, the University of London was created by royal charter as a degree-awarding examining board for students from affiliated schools and colleges, with University College and King’s College, London being named in the charter as the first two affiliates.

The Slade School of Fine Art was founded in 1871 following a bequest from Felix Slade.

sisse 1878 the University of London gained a supplemental charter making it the first British university to be allowed to award degrees to women. Samal aastal, UCL admitted women to the faculties of Arts and Law and of Science, although women remained barred from the faculties of Engineering and of Medicine (with the exception of courses on public health and hygiene). While UCL claims to have been the first university in England to admit women on equal terms to men, pärit 1878, the University of Bristol also makes this claim, having admitted women from its foundation (as a college) sisse 1876. Armstrong College, a predecessor institution of Newcastle University, also allowed women to enter from its foundation in 1871, although none actually enrolled until 1881. Women were finally admitted to medical studies during the First World War in 1917, although after the war ended limitations were placed on their numbers.

sisse 1900 the University of London was reconstituted as a federal university with new statutes drawn up under the University of London Act 1898. UCL, along with a number of other colleges in London, became a school of the University of London. While most of the constituent institutions retained their autonomy, UCL was merged into the University in 1907 under the University College London (Transfer) tegu 1905 and lost its legal independence.

1900 also saw the decision to appoint a salaried head of the college. The first incumbent was Carey Foster, who served as Principal (as the post was originally titled) pärit 1900 et 1904. He was succeeded by Gregory Foster (no relation), ja 1906 the title was changed to Provost to avoid confusion with the Principal of the University of London. Gregory Foster remained in post until 1929.

sisse 1906 the Cruciform Building was opened as the new home for University College Hospital.

UCL sustained considerable bomb damage during the Second World War, including to the Great Hall and the Carey Foster Physics Laboratory. The first UCL student magazine, Pi Magazine, was published for the first time on 21 veebruar 1946. The Institute of Jewish Studies relocated to UCL in 1959. The Mullard Space Science Laboratory was established in 1967. sisse 1973, UCL became the first international link to the precursor of the internet, the ARPANET.

Although UCL was among the first universities to admit women on the same terms as men, sisse 1878, the college’s senior common room, the Housman Room, remained men-only until 1969. After two unsuccessful attempts a motion was passed that ended segregation by sex at UCL. This was achieved by Brian Woledge (Fielden Professor of French at UCL from 1939 et 1971) and David Colquhoun, at that time a young lecturer in pharmacology.

sisse 1976, a new charter restored UCL’s legal independence, although still without the power to award its own degrees. Under this charter the college became formally known asUniversity College London, having previously formally been “University of London, University College” since its incorporation into the University. This name abandoned the comma used in its earlier name of “University College, London”.

sisse 1986, UCL merged with the Institute of Archaeology. sisse 1988 UCL merged with the Institute of Laryngology & Otology, the Institute of Orthopaedics, the Institute of Urology & Nephrology and Middlesex Hospital Medical School.

sisse 1993 a shake up of the University of London meant that UCL (and other colleges) gained direct access to government funding and the right to confer University of London degrees themselves. This led to UCL being regarded as ade factouniversity in its own right.

sisse 1994 the University College London Hospitals NHS Trust was established. UCL merged with the College of Speech Sciences and theInstitute of Ophthalmology in 1995, the Institute of Child Health and the School of Podiatry in 1996 and the Institute of Neurology in 1997. sisse 1998 UCL merged with the Royal Free Hospital Medical School to create the Royal Free and University College Medical School (renamed the UCL Medical School in October 2008). sisse 1999 UCL merged with the School of Slavonic and East European Studies[63][64]and the Eastman Dental Institute.

The UCL Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science, the first university department in the world devoted specifically to reducing crime, asutati 2001.

Proposals for a merger between UCL and Imperial College London were announced in 2002. The proposal provoked strong opposition from UCL teaching staff and students and the AUT union, which criticised “the indecent haste and lack of consultation”, leading to its abandonment by the UCL Provost Sir Derek Roberts.The blogs that helped to stop the merger, are preserved, though some of the links are now broken: see David Colquhoun’s blog, and the rather more stylish Save UCL blog, which was run by David Conway, a postgraduate student in the department of Hebrew and Jewish studies.

The London Centre for Nanotechnology was established in 2003 as a joint venture between UCL and Imperial College London.

alates 2003, when UCL Professor David Latchman became Master of the neighbouring Birkbeck, he has forged closer relations between these two University of London colleges, and personally maintains departments at both. Joint research centres include the UCL/Birkbeck Institute for Earth and Planetary Sciences, the UCL/Birkbeck/IoE Centre for Educational Neuroscience, the UCL/Birkbeck Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology, and the Birkbeck-UCL Centre for Neuroimaging.

sisse 2005, UCL was finally granted its own taught and research degree awarding powers and all new UCL students registered from 2007/08 qualified with UCL degrees. ka 2005, UCL adopted a new corporate branding, under which, muuhulgas, the name University College London was replaced by the simple initialismUCLin all external communications. In the same year a major new £422 million building was opened for University College Hospital on Euston Road, the UCL Ear Institute was established and a new building for the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies was opened.

sisse 2007, the UCL Cancer Institute was opened in the newly constructed Paul O’Gorman Building. Augustis 2008 UCL formed UCL Partners, akadeemilise terviseteaduste keskuses, with Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. sisse 2008 UCL established the UCL School of Energy & Resources in Adelaide, Austraalia, the first campus of a British university in the country. The School is based in the historic Torrens Building in Victoria Square and its creation followed negotiations between UCL Vice Provost Michael Worton and South Australian Premier Mike Rann.

sisse 2009, theYale UCL Collaborativewas established between UCL, UCL Partners, Yale'i ülikooli, Yale School of Medicine and Yale – New Haven Hospital. It is the largest collaboration in the history of either university, and its scope has subsequently been extended to the humanities and social sciences.

juunis 2011, the mining company BHP Billiton agreed to donate A$10 million to UCL to fund the establishment of two energy institutes – the Energy Policy Institute, based in Adelaide, and the Institute for Sustainable Resources, based in London. novembris 2011 UCL announced plans for a £500 million investment in its main Bloomsbury campus over 10 aastat, and the establishment of a new 23-acre campus next to the Olympic Park in Stratford in the East End of London. It revised its plans of expansion in East London and in December 2014 announced to build a campus UCL East covering 11 acres and provide up to 125,000m2of space on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. UCL East will be a part of the planned Olympicopolis that plans to transform the Olympic Park into a cultural and innovation hub where UCL will open its first school of design, a centre of experimental engineering and a museum of the future, along with a living space for students.

The School of Pharmacy, University of London merged with UCL on 1 jaanuar 2012, becoming the UCL School of Pharmacy within the Faculty of Life Sciences. Maikuus 2012, UCL, Imperial College London and the semiconductor company Intel announced the establishment of the Intel Collaborative Research Institute for Sustainable Connected Cities, Londonis asuv Uurimisinstituudi linnade tuleviku.

Augustis 2012 UCL received criticism for advertising an unpaid research position; it subsequently withdrew the advert.

UCL and the Institute of Education formed a strategic alliance in October 2012, including co-operation in teaching, research and the development of the London schools system. Veebruaris 2014 the two institutions announced their intention to merge and the merger was completed in December 2014.

Oktoobris 2013 it was announced that the Translation Studies Unit of Imperial College London would move to UCL, becoming part of the UCL School of European Languages, Culture and Society. Detsembris 2013, it was announced that UCL and the academic publishing company Elsevier will collaborate to establish the UCL Big Data Institute. jaanuaris 2015 it was announced that UCL had been selected by the UK government to be one of the five founder members of the Alan Turing Institute (together with the universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford and Warwick), an institute to be established at the British Library to promote the development and use of advanced mathematics, arvutiteadus, algorithms and Big Data.

sisse 2015 UCL established a new School of Management focused on technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, replacing its Department of Management Science and Innovation. It moved to One Canada Square, Canary Wharf in May 2016.
